CA nixes Marcos plea for return of Paoay property

The Court of Appeals on Monday denied the appeal of the family of Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. to return to them the 57-hectare property in the municipality of Paoay, Ilocos Norte province, including the popular tourist destination—Grand Ilocandia Resort.

In a three-page resolution, the CA’s Former Third Division dismissed the motion for reconsideration of its ruling issued on September 26, 2013, which granted the petition filed by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) and the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) seeking the dismissal of the unlawful detainer complaint filed by the Marcos estate, represented by the senator as its special co-administrator.
